[HECnet] BLISS-16?

[Johnny Billquist]

Hi, Steve.

Looking for the cross compiler. (Like I said, BLISS-16 for VMS... :-) ).

I've seen one reference for uBLISS, but I have no idea of the status of that one. Was it even usable? Why did DEC not use it internally for the Bliss stuff for PDP-11s?

Are you looking for the cross compiler (BLISS-16C) that ran on VAX (VMS)
generating code for the 11's, or are you looking for the compiler that
ran directly on the 11's (uBLISS AKA microBLISS)?   BLISS-16C while hard
to find may be available, the other one I have only seen (and used) once
in the 80's while at DEC and don't expect it to be available anywhere.

I will check to see if I have a copy of either, but it may take a while!
I'm not sure what condition the tapes I have are in - it has been
decades since they were last accessed.

Do anyone have BLISS-16 for VMS? I guess it might be bundled
with BLISS-32, but I don't know. I would like to test it
some, and I have a VAX box running VMS, but my distribution
CDs are far away, and I don't know if I have BLISS in there,
but I thought I'd start by asking here before I try to get
access to CDs 2000 km away...
